Red Cap Gin Liqueur

STIRLING DISTILLERY COMPANY LTD

£31

Named for a goblin you don't want to meet. A liqueur you do. The Red Cap is a mythological Borders goblin with a taste for blood and a hatred of iron. The liqueur named for him has better manners and the same character. Rich, fruity, unmistakably Red Cap. A raspberry gin liqueur inspired by the Red Cap of Scottish legend, a malevolent creature said to stalk ruined castles and tower houses. Made at the Old Smiddy distillery beneath Stirling Castle and part of the Folklore Collection, a range that turns Scotland's most unsettling stories into something you'll want to pour again.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as STIRLING DISTILLERY COMPANY LTD, number SC593513. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
